Paranoid

I'm gonna talk
And you're gonna listen
Until I find the perfect words
'Cause I had 'em, and I lost them
So I'll have a smoke
And you know I'll be drinking
I'll strip off my clothes
Naked to the bone
Let you take my pulse
Just to let you know
That I am human and the earth is holding me down
But is it the sun?
Is it the moon?
Or is it the ground?
Oooh
When I was a child
I never paid no attention
But now that I'm grown
I've been tossing stones
I'm walking alone
And I don't even know
What I'm out here searching for
If there ever is a reason to be paranoid
If the lessons that you learned
And all the books that you've been reading
Have been written by the people
That control what to believe in
Are you paranoid?
Tell me, are you paranoid?
Are you paranoid?
Are you paranoid?
So now I walk
My mindset is different
Protect the weak
Question the strong
Never answer to the ignorant
Lay down the smokes
And let the world sink in
For all that you know
And all that you don't
You're not here alone
'Cause you don't even know
What you're out here searching for
If there's any other reason to be paranoid
If the lessons that you learned
And all the books that you've been reading
Have been written by the people
That control what to believe in
Are you paranoid?
Tell me, are you paranoid?
Are you paranoid?
Tell me, are you paranoid?
Are you paranoid?
Are you paranoid?
